If I ask my MP to request for the progress of my spouse's application on my behalf, do i need to fill a use of representatives form for the MP to have access to the file? Or they automatically have access to the file once I ask them to make inquiry for my behalf??

So I got my biometric request this morning and a request for my birth country police clearance which I already sent them with my application package.

Is it because it has already expired - that's why they are asking for another police clearance?

My husband haven't received an AOR and SA - is this normal that I got my biometric request first?

No need to use representative form but you need to give your MP your spouse's UCI if available, passport number, full name and date of birth.

What the mps office requires is a question that the mps office is best qualified to answer.

Hey everyone, I made a post about this elsewhere, but I thought it might be good to post it here too. We were recently asked to get a medical test within 30 days, which is great news in a way, however, my wife passed a medical test for IRCC last October for a study permit (which she has already obtained). When we sent in our application at the very beginning, we included the page that was given to us after the medical test, thinking it would be valid for 12 months (aka until October of this year).

Is this a common thing? Is there a way for us to reach out to them and ask if it is possible to use our previous medical test results?

Thanks for your help!

I don't think it is possible and a new test will be required. Not certain, however.

Yes, it is likely that it is expired, otherwise they wouldn't ask. Check ECAS(Client Application Status) to see what stages are completed already.

Same. Oct 5 no aor
I Think they are prioritizing skilled workers program over the sponsorship's one. It's going to be hard with the new applications for the 3 programs coming in early May. They still complain about the capacity to process the application then they launch another tour for 90.000 applications.

Yes, that's normal. It does state that the most time consuming part of the process is during eligibility/background checks.

I will submit my new police clearance today so I'm quite relieved. Biometric is scheduled for next week.

Hopefully after this, we hear more news from them. I was finally able to link our application to my account and ecas - both are "in process".
